  • Dear Burke Family, My wife and I are very sorry to hear of the loss of your dear love one. We know this is a difficult time for you. We want to share something with you that has comforted us during times like these. It is comforting to know that God never meant for us to experience this kind of pain.(Romans5:12)(James 1:13) He has made provisions through his son Jesus to awaken all our love ones asleep in death.(John 11:25)(John 5:28,29) God has also promised to wipe away all tears,pain,sorrow and death forever.(Revelation 21:4,5) God’s promises in the Bible will soon be a reality. (Psalms 37:10,11,&29) They give us hope and comfort knowing that we will see our love ones again. We pray that your Family find some peace and comfort in God’s promises for the future.
